Well, it can really be "normal":
if you don't specify a -Xmx parameter on the java command line, then the 
maximum memory authorized for the JVM is very low (something like 64M or 
128M).
This is how Java works and we can't do anything about it at programming 
level: the user must run Jmol with a bigger memory limit.
That's why, for example, I renamed the biggest file in Jmol-datafiles so 
that JUnit tests don't read it, because we can't read it with this 
default limit.

Are you sure that ZAP really removes all references to the previous model ?
If it's not the case, then you can end up having the model twice in memory.
